Affordability and accessibility

Offering healthy food and drinks that are safe, good value, and accessible, whether physically or in terms of price point, is at the heart of our mission to “bring health through food to as many people as possible”. 

Affordability and accessibility dimensions are an integral part of business decisions.

Our main action areas in this space include gathering data on the health and nutrition needs, local consumption and pricing dynamics to understand the local realities of the countries where we operate; and developing distribution channels and supporting local projects to improve the reach and accessibility to our healthy products. 

In addition, food and water access and affordability through our brands are complemented by our social innovation platforms: Danone Communities and Danone Ecosystem. They aim to bring nutrition solutions to low-and middle-income populations and to those for whom accessing healthy foods and safe drinking water is difficult.
